Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef chuck
- 1 large pork sausage (such as Mexican Chorizo)
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion (diced)
- 1 bell pepper (diced)
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
- 2 tablespoons chili powder
- 2 tablespoons ground cumin
- 2 tablespoons dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 cups beef broth
- 1 tablespoon hot sauce (optional, if you’d like to add more heat to your chili)
Instructions
- Prepare the ingredients by slicing pork sausage into ½-inch pieces, and diced onions and bell peppers.
- Add 1 teaspoon oil to a large skillet or soup pot over medium-high heat. Then add the onion, and cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add the ground beef, break the meat into smaller pieces, and add pork sausage to the pot. Cook for 6-7 minutes, until the meat is browned. Drain off any fat that accumulates.
- In a large soup pot over medium-high heat, add 1 teaspoon oil and diced bell peppers, then cook for 2-3 minutes. Add the meat mixture to the pot.
- Add garlic powder, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, chili powder, cumin, tomato paste, sugar and dried oregano. Stir until well combined.
- Add the beef broth and stir well. Bring the mixture to a low boil.
- Then reduce the heat to low (or medium-low) to simmer the chili, uncovered, for about 20 minutes. Stir occasionally.
- Taste and add more salt and optional hot sauce if preferred.
- Remove the pot from the heat. Let the chill rest for about 5 minutes. Serve with optional toppings and enjoy!

Notes
- Use high-quality ground beef chuck which is juicy and flavorful.
- This recipe is fairly spicy, and you can reduce the amount of chili powder and cayenne powder for less spicy chili.
- To thicken the chili fast, mix in the cornstarch slurry, and stir constantly until it thickens.
